T-shirt and Jeans-Call us Comfy

As two women who enjoy fashion we love a stylish outfit, fun heels, and great accessories. But, for those days when we are just lounging around or playing and chasing after little man, a good pair of jeans and a t-shirt are all we need. Not only are jeans and a t-shirt comfortable, but there are some fun ones floating around the shelves of retailers that add a little something extra to the stereotypical jeans and t-shirt look. 

As a mom, I am always looking for ways to be comfortable, practical, yet still true to my sense of style. Being a mom to a little boy I decided to have fun with this one and embrace my inner superhero. Captain America anyone? Target has some great superhero t-shirts to choose from.

Check out this Voila t-shirt my sister is sporting from Old Navy. They also have some other great t-shirts with fun sayings. Now a days you can take a simple dressed down outfit and add a fun pair of heels to turn your daytime relaxed looked into a transition outfit for some night time fun.

What's your favorite outfit for just hanging around and making it casual? Who's with us on comfort wear?

We hope you enjoyed this twist on our typical Mommy Monday post...check out where we are linking!

Off He Goes-First Steps

It happened. My little man is on the go! It's been about three weeks now that he picked up, took his first few steps, and pretty much hasn't sat down. I am excited. I am proud. I am also a little nervous. These little legs and feet have so much exploring and learning to do. But, I also have a big job of trying to protect him as much as possible. I know there are going to be falls, and bumps, and bruises...it's inevitable. In fact, we've already encountered a few. I guess it's never to early for that, right? Yesterday he made his way over to a dirt pile that the dog decided to dig, stomped in the dirt, stumbled over and then began to eat the dirt off of the bottom of his shoes. Lord help me.

If you caught our Friday Favorites posts you might have seen I've already had a mommy fail moment when it comes to remembering his shoes. If worrying about diapers, food, and everything else isn't enough, I now have to remember his shoes. My little guy has never been big on wearing shoes. We had a few cute slip on pairs that we would put him in that lasted all of about five minutes. He would rub his feet together until they fell off and that would be the end of that. No big deal we'll just put socks on him. Well, that lasts maybe two minutes until he pulls them off and tries to hide them. He loves bare feet. I don't blame him. But, where we live the change of seasons is just not going to cut it. Thankfully his first pair of walking shoes have been a hit and he hasn't figured out how to undo the velcro...just yet.

For now we are going to embrace the falls and stumbles, understand that he is going to get into things, ok more like everything. We are going to enjoy his new milestone and continue to be in awe of our little guy.

Nap Time-When Is One Nap Appropriate?

Nap time, a time for our little ones to rest and recoup. Ok, who are we kidding? It's kind of music to our ears to be able to catch our breath, go to the bathroom, and maybe have a little something to eat. However, transitioning over into just one nap a day can be rough. I am writing this post in hopes that I can learn from some of you great moms out there who may have experienced a similar situation or have some insight you can provide. 

My son recently transitioned over into the one year old class at his daycare. He is still 11 months (will be a year in a few weeks) but the way his birthday falls he made the cut off to move into the next class. Everything else in his class seems to be going great except for one thing, nap time. He is used to having a morning and afternoon nap but in his new class they have all the kids take one long afternoon nap. This works great for many of them but doesn't seem to be cutting it for my little guy. The past week and a half has been a big challenge for us. He is so tired and cranky when we bring him home that our short time we get to spend with him hasn't been as enjoyable as we would like. I realized that I only get about 3 and half waking hours with my son during each work day, that sucks! I want those few short hours to be filled with fun and love. 

I did meet with his teachers and the director of the daycare who were more than accommodating to work with our needs and what is best for our son. We also try to mirror his daycare schedule on the weekends so he isn't thrown off and that it's consistent for everyone. We have noticed that prior to the switch, his afternoon nap is becoming much shorter than it usually was and not by anyone's fault, just him waking up on his own. There is so much information to read online about nap time theories and when it's best to switch from two naps to one. Ultimately I know that as his Mom I am going to make the best decision for him, but I would love to hear your own experiences and when you felt the best time to switch to one nap was right for your child?
